Recommendable violin bow, Markneukirchen circa 1950

This old German violin bow, a strong active player producing a bright, clear tone, was crafted approx. 1950 in Markneukirchen in Saxony. Fine quality light brown pernambuco wood provides good stability and surprisingly high elasticity of the octagonal stick. The balance-point of this bow is slightly inclined towards the lower half of the stick and measured at 26.6 cm, the total length is 74.9 cm including the adjuster. The petite head and slight signs from playing feature the nice character of the bow that is equipped with a nickel mounted ebony frog. Last but not least the tonal properties of this well playing bow are convincing: with its bright and clear, ringing sound this bow would well complement a mellow, dull toned violin and suits a player who does use normal to high pressure at bowing.
